FRIDAY EVENING, FEURUAHY 2, 1844. AN AFFAIR Ciimo off in tha llottae yesterday which rcflocts hut little to the credit of 101116 of its members. It appoars tint on Tuesday evening a debuts sprung up on 1 bill introdiicod by Mr. White rclalivo to tlio Bank of Woostcr. Mr. Ewing, of Hamilton, opposod the bill; denouncing it in tlio strongest tcnus, and proclaiming himself a hard money man. Ho said that ho gloried in the name and avowed thot he had boon favorable to tlio hard money currency from his childhood ! 1 Ho was replied to by Messrs. Duncan, Whito, Brand and Willoz. The first named gentleman eallod upon the reporters to mark down particularly what Mr. Etving had acknowledged. To the astonishment of all who heard the remarks of Mr. Ewing, the Statesman of Wednesday contained a report of the matter which altered vory materially the wholo complexion of thoso remarks; making ttiom unlike, altogether, in report, thoso really made in tho House, to which especial allusion hod been made by thoso who followed him. Mr. H'illot, of Wnyno, although a member of "the party," was friendly to the Bank. He felt aggrieved at tho false coloring put upon tho remarks of thoso who engaged in the debate. lie arose yesterday morning with a resolution of inquiry, to ascertain how such a report happened to be mado under such circumstances. Mr. Ewing acknowledged, after some time, that he had prepared the printed remarks himself! Mr. Ca rey proposed to oxtend the inquiry to another matter that had been very improperly reported, but after wards withdrew Ins amendment A debate, warm and bitter, continued; confined principally to the Loco Foco side of the House. Mr. Willoj was denounced and his actions woro impugned hy his own party friends! Ho defended himself triumphantly, Mr. Lawrence, of Guernsey, moved tho indefinite postponement of the resolution, Mr. Willoz request ed him to withdraw his motion in order to give him an opportunity to withdraw his resolution, as he hod ascertained nearly all ho wished by the acknowl edgments of Mr. Kwinz. Mr. Lawrence rcfuswl, and launched into a tirado against Mr. W. Trio vote was finally taken on the pusluonemciitand negatived Mr. W. remarked that ho had been grossly assailed; ho would not withdraw his resolution, but would let tlio House decido whether ho had been right or wrong. The resolution prevailed, but the cud is not yet Tho sin of Mr. Willoz is, that he is not willing to unite in the uttor destruction of the banks of Ohio. His constituents, of all parties, havo petitioned for the passage of a bill exempting the Hunk of Woostcr from the operations of tho banking law, but accepting other restrictions; among them iiulivutuat nihility! Mr, W. was disposed to grant their request, but tho hard money loaders said that he must not. Ho was determined, and the disposition of tho "hards" may bo understood from a single romnrk mado by ono of thorn to-day, who is a member of tho House. Said ho, "If'illoz may go; tee have tdreaity kicked him out of lite party, and wilt no longer 01m him!" ThiB is tho way nutters aro done up by the tin-pan and this is tlio way thoso aro treated, who dare entertain an opinion adverse to that promulgated from "head quarters." Thus was tho largest part of a day spent upon a matter originating with tho minority. If, however, it had no other good effect, it will show what dependence can bo placed upon tho reports of the Statesman, when it becomes tho interest of tho minority to color and refit ihcin in order to make them palatable NOMINATIONS FOR GOVERNOR. The Massillon Guzctto nominates, as its first choico for Governor, SAMUEL WHITE, Esq. of, Licking Co., one of the able and indefatigable members from that county in tho Houso of Representatives. Mr. Whito would make sad havoc with Davy Toad and his toadys, and tad-poles, big and little. His "Democratic" help-mate would hardly know him by tho time he returned from a tour of tlio State, with Mr. White. Tho Mt Vornon Times recommends to to the consideration of the coming Stato Convention as a suitable candidato for Governor, II. W. CLARK, Esq. of Clermont Co. Mr. C. is an ablo and gallant Whig, and will win honors, whatever post may bo allotted to him in the coining campaign. ft Tho Dayton Journal says that Dclazon Smith held a meeting lost Saturday in order to reply to It. II. Taylor, According to tho Journal, ho "literally fllaycd his traduccra alive." On tho same even ing tho Hickory Club met in somo bar-room, and solemnly read Smith out of the ranks! According to all accounts, if "King Numbers" has anything to say in such a matter, Dclazon could, without difficulty, read out tho Hickory Club. CONGRESS. Mr. McDuffie has replied to Mr. Evans, on the Tariff question, in tho Senalo, in a very lengthy speech recapitulating all his Freo Trade arguments. In tho Houso we find tho following Items t Mr. Campbell of S. C. proposed an amendment to tho Constitution to tho otfect that tho legislative functions of this Disirict shall be given to Maryland and Virginia whoiicvnr those two States signify their willingness to tako chariro ot tho samo. A joint resolution proposing a reduction of the f rices ot printing provided lor under 1110 joint reso-ution of lrilt) to the amuunt uf 15 per cent The provious question was moved as soon as the resolution was presented. It was moved again upon the third roadimr, and ueain upon tho final passage. upon which tho yeas and nays wero called. The Vole was l'Jl to 'XI. A new resolulion was introduced that tho two Houses of Congress would adjourn sine die on tho 1st Monday of May. Tho provious question was moved and not seconded. Mr. Illack of (ion. wished an amendment to the resolved, which was that "Congress should adjourn when tho Tariff was brought down to a Revenue Tariff." The resolution wns then objected to Mr. Wiso signifying his intention of debating tho Resolution under tho Rulo it goes over. THE I'HKSr.NT LOCO FOCO PARTY AI.'KNOWI.. EWliriU THAT THEY HAVE I.KIT THE Of. I) DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT CONTENDING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC l'RIH Cll'I.ES OF OTHER DAYS. The following is quoted from tho "Cincinnati En quirer" tho Loco Foco organ of Hamilton county, edited by Charles Bhouoii, Esq., brother of the Auditor of State. It was put forth last fall. We call the attention of men of all parties to it as an acknowledgment not less important than true ! It is an acknowledgment thai thoso who have boasted, at all times, of their " Democracy," and who have claimed to be the exclusive advocates of the principles of Hashington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, are not entitled to the namo of Democrat, and that they stand in opposition to true democratic principles as understood, expounded, defended and maintained by those illustrious worthies ! The precepts and principles of those distinguished apostles of Liberty, aro thus repudiated as obsolete, by those who find that their apostacy has becomo so palpablo, it can no longer bo cnncoaled from tho eyes of an uprising people. "Progressive Democracy," as it is culled, spurns the principles of those who framed this gov ernment, and tramples tinder foot those measures which carried the country safely through all its difficulties, and placed it on the high road to prosporily, happiness and honor. The old beacon-lights are to put out, old land-marks are to be obliterated and the people must follow after tho new-lights, and worthless expedients of a mushroon race of Solons, whose loftiest conception is "to the victors belong the spoils!" " I thank thee, Jow, for that word !" We rejoico that our opponents havo thrown off their disguise, and thus defined their position. Wo know now what "progressive democracy " means ! We call upon tho people of the State to mark this acknowledgment ; and our friends of the press should see that it is kept before the people, from this timo until the voice of tho nation shall proclaim Henry Cluy President of the United States. "The man who WAS a Democrat twenty Jive years ago, and entertains the principles A'OP, that the party DID twenty jiveycars ago, Ann HAS NOT PROOKES-sew with the fartv, but remained slationani, IS JUST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES AND THE I'ARTY.

Mr. B. is understood to bo on a political mission for Medary; working tho cards to suit his game; and reading out, where he cannot reconcile, the disaffected. Mr. Ilcbb replied to Mr. Taylor on tho next evening, and most triumphantly vindicated Whig principles, while he carried tho war into Africa occasionally. L. D. Campbell, Esq., was called upon to address the meeting. He declined on account of tho lateness of tlio hour, but gave notico that he was prepared to "provo that Martin Van Burcn is not a Domocrat and that his principles areanti-Democratic." Ho challenged tho friends of tho Magician in and out of the county to meet him and discuss the matter beforo tho pcoplo.

Wo have two or three times attempted to inform oursclf as to tho roal state of the bill, as it now stands; but havo given it up as a hopoless task for the present, so complicated has it becomo. CATO-No. 5. To the Editor of thr Journal: The next and lust imoortant principle, embraced in, and recognized by the Bill, is to allow, the individuals engaged in Banking, all the ordinary privi leges oi a iimiicu partnership ny me selection pi meir name, place of business, time of duration, amount of capital, the adoption of their own rules for the selec tion ol officers and tho transaction ol tneir business and wilh no restrictions, other lhan such as are useful with reference to their issues, the rate of interest, and the prevention of frauds. Whoever will separate the issue of circulating notes, from the term Bank or Banking, will readily perceive the correctness of this principle Banks of deposite, discount and exchange, without issuing circulating notes, have existed time and again. Very many such, now exist. No legislation is nccessurijy required, to call them into existence. They result from the diffusion of capital among the mony, and can best exist whero tho population is dense, ontcrprizintr and commercial. They coold not exist in a country, whero all tho powor and wealth wero in tlio hands ol the lew. l ncy nau their origin in a republic, where individual rights were respected, individual knowledge and enterprise fostered and sustained, and individual competence, if not wealth, were common. The economy of timo and money, in the transactions of tho many, impelled them hy the law of necessity and uses, into existence. They aro in their nature and uses, of private, rather than of public consideration. They are sim ply the scents, not the standard of vnluo. They do not furnish a circulating medium, as a representative in value of coin, nor do thev perform any other act in which tho whole Stutc, or the people of tho S'ato is interested. Thev exercise no functions, but such as legitimately belong- to individuals. All of their transactions are in fact, of the privato or individual nature. 'A. fins a sum ol money that ho wibIics sale-ly kept, until he has occasion to use it Ho dopos-ites it with ono who has in his judgment and confidence, integrity of character and good and efficient provision against firo and robbers. The ono who receives it is A's Bunker. This deposileo may or may not loan money, make discounts, or buy and sell exchanges. 'B.' wishes to borrow a sum of money, or ho wishes to anticipate in ready cash, a note having time to run. Ho applies to one who will loan him the money or discount his Bill. It is a private, an individual transaction. So of exchange. C.' wishes to remit one thousand dollars to Boston. Ho applies to an individual or company who may havo funds there. If they agree upon tho prico, C. buys the tunds there hy paying tho money Hero, witn mo exchange if any, and takes the Bankers check oil Bus. ton for it In all theso transactions, whether few or many, the public at lorp-c has nothing tn do, any more than they have with the every day's business of buying and selling Hour, louueen, cotton, tea, coiiee, v.c. etc, And. whatever mov bo the acirrciratc amount of bu siness done by a Bank of discount, deposit and ex change, the whole is mado up ot tlioso anove enumerated individual transactions, and in which sever- lly, or in the aggrcirute, the public at large is not interested, bestows no confidence, and from a broach of faith or mismanagement can suffer no loss. Willi a circulating medium, it is altogether inher ent That is the representative of tho values. All other property whatsoever is represented, bought and sold, by it; and hy its tuidard aro all things in' his-scssion volucd and in it and its agencies, all the people are interested interested in tiuving it of an uniform and una-iultcrutcd vnluo. Paper money, therefore, should onlv bo used when it is safe and more economical in such usn than coin, and should never etceca an availaldc capital (of fic precious metal) rep resented by it Thence it would follow, that were there no statutory provision on the subject were all restraining laws repealed anil individuals left to their common law rights, they might without injury to the public, issue bills of circulation, if based upon and not exceeding the cash capital on hand. But the danger would oo ns too olen proved by experience, that the cosh means of redemption would not bo in hand when most wanted, and moreover that lire issocs nad been Inigcly extended beyond tho cshh once on hand. Hence the necessity of legislating on this branch of the subject and this alone; and providing that the capital for the issues shall bo in the hand of the htate; and tfie issues themselves, noscu upon sucn capital, shall not bo entrusted to the owners and thus alwavB havini? abititii to redeem "in hand," in the placo of liability to redeem "in tho bush." But for all tho rest for discount, deposits, and exchange and oven tho rato of interest, tho less the interference by legislativo enactments the belter tor the peoplo at lurge. Individual ciiterprize, capacity and competition, with tho constant action of tho laws of trado upon each, aro the best regulators. Tho Journal is savago about tho democratic Retrenchment bill, reducing tho salary of tho Secretary of State to ."iU0. Put that office up at auction, and wo can find twenty whigs within stono throw that would tako II st if UK), Willi tlio perquisites, now worth one or two hundred dollar a year. Statesman. Put up tho Stale printing in the samo way, and we'll find an equal number of Whigs who will take it off your hands, and snve the pcoplo frWianrfs annually! Oh no! this would not do! This is a rulo that won't work both ways. Ill this mutter there must be neither comwfifuiit or rrfrcncAmenf.' Eight or ten thousand dollars is a small amount to tax the people annually to keep up tho "iitalesman;" but $800 as tho salary of tho Secretary of Stato cannot for a moment bo tolorated ! The legislature has tho subject of retrenchment beforo them, but we think the sooner they drop it tlio better. Duller Telegraph. The above is tho declaration of a Loco Foco paper. How nearly it corresponds with tho declaration of Senator Lahin, made on Wednesday we believe, that tho wholo retrenchment mnltor was a humbug! Theso things, small in themselves, show the real state of feeling among thoso who cxect to prevent tho passage of any retrenchment bill by loading tho propositions of tho House with impracticable amendments. Tha Telegraph took its pilch when Disney and Lahm, and others of the Loco Focos of the Leg islature, were openly denouncing and sncoring at retrenchment; and he has not observed that tho key is changed ! MAINE ELECTIONS. It is now rendered tolerably certain that Mr. Rob-insnn, whig, is elected to Congress from the 7lh Congressional District of Maino. At the second trial a month or two since, he fell 55U vote short of a ma-majority over all. Ho has gained 404 in tho towns husrd from, and is considered safe. Thus, in every olection that has taken place recently, wo havo most gloriously triumphed; and from llio indications furnished by tho results of these Congressional contests, wc may begin to calculate thut Maine will be found arrayed, beyond porudvenlure, under the banner of Clay next full, Iu tho ild district there is no choice. Seven can didates wore in the fiold. 07 I' possible tho editor of the Meigs County Times doos not know quite as much about the State Printing as he imagines. Will he tell us how often the Slate Printer is allowed to charge for the samo composition? Will he tell us what good reason there is why tho Slate Printor should be allowed to charge and receive pay for a larger number of pages than can be found in his volumes, counting blanks and all? We are sorry to see a Whig editor reflecting upon Whig members of the Legislature, who are well acquainted with the subject upon which they preposo to act and have evidence conolusivo, at least to their minds, thut there are abuses thai cry aloud for correction. A WISE RECOMMENDATION! A meeting of thoso fuvorahle to the election of Richard M. Johnson, to the Presidency of the United Slates, was held at Harrisburgh a few days since. Mr. Van Buron and every body who favored his claims, were wliislle down tho wind, in the best stylo of lire friends of "union and harmony." Tho following resolution, among olhors, was carried by acclamation: Resolved, "That ire rrrommrnrf .Vnrfin Inn Jln-rrn to remain at Kiwlerhoak, and devote his time to the cultivation of cabbages! OJ The Loco Foco Legislature of Indiana which adjourned a few days since, passed a bill lo reduco the pay of Jurors to 75 cents per day; while the compensation of members was suffered to remain at $U,uO per day. This is Imo Foco Reform. STRAWS! The "7tu Democrat," at Chillicothe, publishes the banking law intioducod by Mr. Duncan, and speaks of it in favorable terms.

Sain, To bark at this "Out Coos!" REMARKS OF MR, FOOT. In Commiltoe of the Whole, January 27, upon the put to amend the act entitled - an act graining licenses and regulating taverns." The uuestion beinir upon tho motion to strike out all alter tlio enacting clause, Mr Foot said, as one of the select comoiitteo to whom tho petitions upon this subject had been referred, he had ntlixcd his name to the report accompanying tlio Dill now uuuer discussion. That renort states that the committee cun sco no rcusonublo ohicctions to tho passao-e of a law such us is prayed for by tho petitioners. They simply nsk at our hands, a modification of the license laws ; such a mollification as sliull give to them, tho people, tho powor lo decide whether or nol mo present system shall any longer be in force in their respective townships. They usk for no compulsory legislation for no law upon the subject that shall in its operation run counter to public opinion ; but they ask rather lor tho privilege of ascertaining public sentiment, and then tn regulate this matter in accordance with that puulic sentiment," oy carrying out its demonstra tions. Tho ohicctions that huvo been broutrht uiruinst the bill, Mr. F. thought were not well founded. The legislation in Massachusetts some years since upon this subject, to which allusion hud been made, was of a character entire v different from that proposed by the bill before us. The further objection, that lobulation in these mutters would have a tendency to retard tho progress of the temperance cause, was, in his opinion, un objection thut could not justly be applied to the provisions of the bill under discussion. And furthor, he thought it too late in the doy to take tho broad ground which snch an objection would cov-or. The laws now upon the Stututo Book, furnish evidenco that will not be disputed, that this is a p op-or subject of legislation, and thut our law makers Imve hitherto regarded il as the duty of the Legislature to lessen and rcstrnin, if not to attempt the re moval of tho causes which load to inteoiperance. If this bo not the case, why is it thut "license" must first bo procured, and evidence furnished to tlio court that the applicant "sustains a fair inoiul chur-actcr," before he can, according to your laws, obtain such license ? Il is admitted by all, that evils of tho greatest magnitude grow out of the practice of using intoxicating drinks as a beverage; and notwithstanding all the efforts of the friends of temperance, these evils still remain among us to nn alarming extent A largo number of our fellow citizens come up here by their petitions with a proposition which, if adopted, they believe would tend to lessen the evils complained of. This bill is framed in accordance with their prayer; and believing as ho, Mr. F. did, that its operation would be highly salutary, ho hoped tho molion to Btriko out would not prevail. Tho bill afterwards having been reported back to the Houso with an amendment adopted in commilteo of llio whole to strike out all afler tho enacting clause, and tho question being upon agreeing to tho report of the committee, Mr. Luwrenco moved tho indefinito postponement of the bill Willi the ponding amendment.Mr. F. remarked, in substanco, that he was about rising to move to lay llio bill wilh tho amendment upon the table, when the gentleman from (luernsey nbtuined the lluor, Ilis, .Mr. F.'s, object in making tins motion was to ufl'ord the Houso fiirlher timo to examine its provisions. From the character of the objections raised against it he wus convinced the objects of tho bill were not fully understood. As the motion lo indefinitely postpone had precedence, tho friends of the measure found themselves now under the necessity of defending it notwithstanding tho lateness of tho hour. (icntlemen hod spoken of tho timo already consumed in this discussion. Air. F. said he should not take tho admonilion to himself. He would remind gentlemen that he had remained quietly in his scat while the policy of granting a divorce had been dis cussed for the last threo days, upon tho application of sn individual from another Stale. He had, without taking any part in that debate, contented himself with giving a silent veto. This hill was one of much more interest and importanco tn his constituents, and reluctant ns he was to trespass iijinn the timo of the Houso, he had no apology to oiler lor having done so in Ihe present instance. Rebellious Movement in Harford. It is well known that there is a party in Harfurd county, in this Stato, who arc openly opposed to the payment of taxes. A fow days ago, when the Collector attempted to sell some property in the infected district, he was forcibly stopped. Written notices were stuck up, threatening violcnco lo any one who should daru to bid. The Collector attempted to do his duty, and a resolute individual bid for the property. A mob of somo fifty men immediately rushed open hiin, and the cry was "Ailf Aim, k ill him, killhim!" Ono attempted to dash out his brains with a largo stone, and another to strike at him with a bludgeon. He managed lo escape, and was chased olf the ground. The Collector dared not attempt to perform his duty, and tho law is now set at defianco and a portion of Harford is in open rebellion. I understand that application has bcon mado to the Executivo fur tho protection ot an armed force. Now Mr. Medary, in all candor, wo would advise you tn put Mr. Toil under keepers, until you can learn hiin a deccut and intelligent kind of a speech to repeat on tho stump, if you do not wo fear that ho will not receive tho full support of his own party, notwithstanding its secure "lwty drill and party organization" wo havo indeed, fears to that purport ! And look'eo too, Mr. Medary, beforo vou let him so from his "keeiicrs," tell him to rctieal no more Ihat sickly rigmarole about his democratic mother, his aVm-rmfic sisters, his democratic wife and children, &e. wo Know not how such stuff, tuuv sound in the cure of 'democrats' but to us it sounds as very silly and sickening. It docs indeed! A word of advice to tho wiso, &c .luntiice Kiver Times. It is unpleasant to be thus compelled to "try again;" but tho Whigs havo too long contended with adverse influences to be disheartened just on the ovo of a final and complete victory. We have nn abundance it aulo and worthy men, and rrm rfrrf any one of Ihcin. If one is selected who is nut calculated for llio stump, who cares? There is not a county in tho Stato which has not in it young men who can meet and silonco David Tod, the Loco Foco candidate, upon the stump. Ho is a demagoguo of small cali- uro; and lus neariiessness is so apparent H can he readily seen through the flimsy covering with which ho attempts tn conceal it Give us a man ot good, sound, practical common sense (we have no fears that any other will be named! and David Tod will bo distanced. Milan Tribune. SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1844. Sam, THE ACTION OF THE SENATE ON THE RETRENCHMENT BILL. Wo re-affirm what wo nflirmod a fow days since, that tho majority of the Senuto, have both endeavored to delay and defeat tlio passage of the Retrenchment Bill. And we again affirm that facts bear us out in the assertion. And we would ask any candid man. if it can be supposed for a moment that thoso. somo of whom proclaimed at the vory outstart, their hostility to retrenchment as a "humbug," tnil"pclty- larceny" affair, can bo supposed to have any other object in view than the defeat of the bill, when they put the salaries of President Judges at 750 and Secretary of Stale at 8."00 ; while they allow a dot in tho .Iwlilar's Office liU0 nor year? Other amendments of the Senate are equally objeclionablo and impropor, and some of thorn have been so acknowledged. Mr. Archbold, himself, admitted that $750 was too small a salary for a good President Judge. Now, we say these amendments have been mado and insisted upon by the Senate, with no other object than to delay and defeat action upon tho bill. The decision of tho Senato by which tho Slate rrinler is shielded from tlio operations of the Retrenchment principle, is an obnoxious ono, and nine-tenths of the peoplo of Ohio will so consider it and pronounco up on it. Its adoption is and was calculated to render tho bill objectionublu to tlioIIouse,and to delay action. And we must here point to a fact most conclusive, n justification of what we have maintained through out Had the Senate accepted and assented to the naked and simple proposition of the House for a re duction of the compensation of memliers, so much would have been gained of once During the two months the Legislature has been in session, instead of $.'1,00 per doy, tho members would havo bocn en titled to S'iOO, only. Here would havo been a clear and undoubted saving of at least between one and fico hundred dollars per day, to the people of tho Stoto. By hitching to tins proposition a complex and incongruous host of amendments, they have put oft" what they consider the eri'l day, and secured their own compensation nearly to the dost of the session. Now, it cannot be pretended :n extenuation of this, that their object was to apply tho retrenching prin ciple to other departments ; for it is a well known foct thut tho majority of tho House expressed from Die first a dcterininution to "finish tho work !" And, they gavo an oarncst of their sincerity, by passing a bill reducing tho salaries of certain Stato officers, by which they would savo six or seven thousand dollars, annually, to the peoplo. And this second bill was in tlio hands of the Senate, before they had acted upon Retrenchment Bill, No. I. All these things aro on record, and subslantiate most triumphantly our posi tion on tho subject THE DIFFICULTY AT WASHINGTON. Mr. E. II'. Jiihiston, (not W. C. Johnson) was tho second of Mr. Shrivor in the difficulty bclwcen him and Mr. Weller. Mr. Shrivcr makes a publication in which he states that he made several attempts, through his friends, to obtain a meeting wilh Air. Weller, but that the latter refused, utterly, to meet him any where, at any time. Thereupon he publishes hiin'aa a coward, in the Baltimore Patriot Wo cannot suffer this opportunity to pass without expressing our satisfaction that this matter has not terminated as we learcd for a tune, it would, no circumstanco can induco us, for a moment, lo ap- provo a resort to this murderous modo of settling a difficult j. If ono apologises for it, under ono sot of circumstances, others will find an excuse or justification of it under other circumstances. Thus the force of that current of public opinion which has been set ting for years agoinst the "(lucJIirur; eorfc," ,will be broken. This much, however, wo may say; that a man who will make an attack upon another, physi cally his inferior, such as that made by Air. Weller upon Mr. Shrivor, justly merits tho appellation ol eoivard, by refusing afterwards to meet nun upon an equal footing; showing, at least thst ho has not uie nerve to stand before thut man upon an equal fooling, whom ho would attack ntjl disadvantage. Bu, at tlio same time wo must say, that hud we not been satisfied previously, that Air, 8. was a man ol courage, it would take more than his challenge to satisfy us of it Tha Christian world has ceused lo consider the dWisf the most courageous man. Ohio Leoislathre. A bill to apportion the State for members of iho Legislature has beon intro-I ucod into the Senate. We regret to see a determination still manifest to mnkc an apportionment on party grounds. Such an idea ought never to enter tho dead of a Legislator who hue the least desire for juslico. Any man can take the census, and beginning in one corner (say Ashtabula county) and conforming as near as county lines will permit to tlio logal ratio, make an apportionment wiiose equity cannot be called in question. Why not both parties agreo to do so ? Floating members, however, ought at nnco to bo abolished. The Legislature has no right to mako them. They are represcntalitos of noooiiy. tuicinniiii tftfontcic.

A Loco Foco editor at McCon nclsvillo, quotes from Cop. 5Aan lion's mcnagt a sug gestion of an alteration of the Constitution, as one made with reference to tlio same purpose! Ho will we apprehend, be at a loss to find anything in favor of bionnial sessions in that message, but we must excuse hiin, for wo presume ho had not read the mcs-sage, that being mnre charitable than to suppose he misrepresented it Wo must at least dispute tho exclusive claim to this fnunaVr.

In this opinion a largo number of the Whig press and party of Ohio, wo havo no doubt accord with us. But, the question of an amenihiient of the Constitu tion will not be presented to tho people this fall; it being considered dusirnblo to koep a matter of so much importance aloof from a political contest as exciting ss it may bo expected, will be thut of the coming soaann.

We notice, by the papers of the cities, that largo numbers of ladios attend the meetings of the Clay Clubs of Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, &c At a meeting few evenings since, more than a thousand ladies were present to witness the presentation of a splendid Portrait to a Clay Club. Bongs are sung, generally, between every speech delivered, and the ladies join in to swell the loud chorus, in honor of Henry Clay and Whig principles ! In various parts of the Union, splendid Flags have been presented by the warm hearted daughters of noble republican sires, to Associations of Young Men who have enlisted for tho campaign in the cause of the country. With such incitements to fidelity and ac tivity, who supposes they will fuller? And, when such a stato of feeling is exhibited throughout tlio country, who does not feol a happy assurance that the day of its deliverance draweth nigh ? We wonder not that our opponents become desperate when they witness such evidences of their doom. ANOTHER "APPEAL TO THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS!" The following chaste and classical sentence is found in a paragraph that has been elicited from the Statesman, by an allusion in reply to the orm'nous givings out of that paper and the Globe, to the fact that the unfortunato man who waa killed by the fall ing of the roof of the Club House, at Richmond , waa a Van Buren man. "Van Buren mechanics should lot these rufflo- shirted, wasp-waistcd, slim-lingered, drunkon fool dandies build their own 'houses ot ill-lame,' 11 they wish to escape from tho wrath that is in store for such wickedness." If this means anything, it is that tho Whigs may engage in such deeds of darkness (building Club Houses) with impunity; but if a Loco Foco lends a hand he is sure to fall a viWim to "the iprafA thnt is in store for such wickedness!" Out upon such stuff! A man must havo a strong stomach if he docs not sicken with it flj The following is from the Charlestown (Va.) Freo Press. It has set tho Loco Foco camp in a perfect buzz. They denounco the Roy. Mr. Collins in no measured terms, although somo of them admit him to be a most eloquent and devoted man. Wo do trust they will survive the knowledge of the fact that the groat mass of the Clergy would regard tho honor of the country much more safe in the hands oil Mr. Cluy than of Martin Van Huron, whose corrupt practices havo inflicted a deadly blow upon the morals of the country: The Hon. J. Al. Bolts lately addressed the Tenth Ward Clay Club in Baltimore, alter which the Rev. John A. Collins fervently addressed the Throne 0,' Divino Uraco. Air. Collins then stated that much to his regret, another engagement then compelled him to retire, but that ho wished to state that if it were not for hia "cloth, he would hko to tako amoro activo pnrt in aiding the Whigs to carry out their principles, as hid warm sympathies were with them adding, as ho pointed to a portrait of Mr. Clay, "for President I am for that man; first, last, and all the timo.

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ASY LUM FOR THE BLIND, The seventh annua! report of Ibis institution al though it was issued sometime since, has been on our table but a short timo. We take pleasure in eta- ting, as wo are authorized to do by the Report, that the Institution by its operations and results, is moet- ng the warmest expectations of its founders, friends, the trustees and superintendent Several concerts nave Dcen given tins season, by Us pupils, which have awakened an increasing interest in its welfuro und success. Although it cannot "give sight to tho blind," any more than its sister institution can "give neanng to tne deaf," yet it can employ other senses which seem to be dovelopcd in the blind with a de gree of acuteness and powor which measurably re pays tor Uie aoscDce or the former and mako them the conductors to the mind of knowledge calculated to elevate thorn from their unfortunate position, and make them more happy while it makes them more useful. We learn, through the report before us that the number of pupils admitted into the Asylum is smul-er than in former yenrs. We regret to learn this, and cannot but believe that it may be ascribed to tho want of information respecting the system of instruction, &e. If the blessings it bestows upon its pupils were known and understood, we feel euro that fuw of Uie unfortunate beings would be de prived of a participation in them. We rejoice, there fore, that it is designed to send a few of the pupils to different places in the Stute, during the ensuing vacation, under tho care of tho Principal, for an ex hibition of their acquirements. It cannot fail to ba productive of good. The numbor of pupils admitted during the post year, is tiodvc; discharged, or not returned nino. The number in the institution it fifty-eight Tim pupils have, we are happy to learn, n; t morB fa. cided improvement during ilz past term than at any previous period. variety of branches of a good practical education are imparted, and yet a portion of the time of the pupil is spent in acquiring a knowlcgo of one of four trades taught in the Asylum, viz: brush making, basket making, mat and carpet woaving. The females are taught some branch of fancy worsted work. It is said all mako very rapid progress in acquiring an education as well as a trade. Thus a large, and hitherto helpless class, aro liAed up from their dependent condition and ena bled so to live as to bo useful members of society. Musical instruction has been very successfully imparted, and there is now in the Asylum an excellent orchestra, composed of a dozen or more perform ers. Borne standard works of reference, for the uso of the blind are much needed, and the Superintend ent thinks that in no branch of benevolence could a moderate Bum be expended more profitably. The receipts from sales or Uie workshops of the Institution, amount to $1,)03, leaving a profit in the mmiu- facturing department, of If 1 HI. So that trades arc giv en to to the pupils with little cost to the State. Two interesting Chinese blind children are preparing in the Institution to act as teachers in China. Tho expenses of the Institution have been less than usual, and the most satisfactory evidenco has been furnished of the fitness of the Superlntendont and Teachers for the responsible and arduous labors imposed upon them. We publish the following torms for the admission of pupils, that all who wish to avail Uiemselves of its beneficent provisions, may see that the door is ex- tended wide, and the tonna all that could be asked. I. Applications for admission may be addressed to either of the Trustees, or the Superintendent II. Persons applying for admission, should be between the ages of seven and iwrnly-one years-free from disease; of sound mind, and of good moral character; of which, a certificate from several respectable persons, is required. In certain cases, persons ovor twenty-one, arc admitted, at the discretion of the Trustees. III. The terms, where there is ability to pay, aro one hundred dollars for a term of ten months, payu-ble half yearly, in advance. This covers all expenses, except clothing, physician's bills, and travelling-expenses to and from Columbus. IV.

HAMILTON THE AUTHOR OF THE SUB- TREASURY!!

Tho Address of tho 8lh of January, abuses Hamilton without sfinf, it cortainly was not for Uie introduction of thit measure: "Alexander Hamilton, tmi Ihe original inventor and propeser qf the sub-ircasiiru scheme which fan Httrtn fastened upon ihe nation, and for which, mainly, ho wns Kicxeu out 01 tne presidency, in leuti, Vnn Duron's Secretary of Uie Treasury recommended Ihe scheme to Congress by Uie declaration that 'it was urgently recommended by this Department as early liw: tram 1BUto 1:'D Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury, and of course wus the Secretary in 17IKL, The following is the fourth section or an act en titled '.

FRIDAY EVENING, FEURUAHY 2, 1844. AN AFFAIR Ciimo off in tha llottae yesterday which rcflocts hut little to the credit of 101116 of its members. It appoars tint on Tuesday evening a debuts sprung up on 1 bill introdiicod by Mr. White rclalivo to tlio Bank of Woostcr. Mr. Ewing, of Hamilton, opposod the bill; denouncing it in tlio strongest tcnus, and proclaiming himself a hard money man. Ho said that ho gloried in the name and avowed thot he had boon favorable to tlio hard money currency from his childhood ! 1 Ho was replied to by Messrs. Duncan, Whito, Brand and Willoz. The first named gentleman eallod upon the reporters to mark down particularly what Mr. Etving had acknowledged. To the astonishment of all who heard the remarks of Mr. Ewing, the Statesman of Wednesday contained a report of the matter which altered vory materially the wholo complexion of thoso remarks; making ttiom unlike, altogether, in report, thoso really made in tho House, to which especial allusion hod been made by thoso who followed him. Mr. H'illot, of Wnyno, although a member of "the party," was friendly to the Bank. He felt aggrieved at tho false coloring put upon tho remarks of thoso who engaged in the debate. lie arose yesterday morning with a resolution of inquiry, to ascertain how such a report happened to be mado under such circumstances. Mr. Ewing acknowledged, after some time, that he had prepared the printed remarks himself! Mr. Ca rey proposed to oxtend the inquiry to another matter that had been very improperly reported, but after wards withdrew Ins amendment A debate, warm and bitter, continued; confined principally to the Loco Foco side of the House. Mr. Willoj was denounced and his actions woro impugned hy his own party friends! Ho defended himself triumphantly, Mr. Lawrence, of Guernsey, moved tho indefinite postponement of the resolution, Mr. Willoz request ed him to withdraw his motion in order to give him an opportunity to withdraw his resolution, as he hod ascertained nearly all ho wished by the acknowl edgments of Mr. Kwinz. Mr. Lawrence rcfuswl, and launched into a tirado against Mr. W. Trio vote was finally taken on the pusluonemciitand negatived Mr. W. remarked that ho had been grossly assailed; ho would not withdraw his resolution, but would let tlio House decido whether ho had been right or wrong. The resolution prevailed, but the cud is not yet Tho sin of Mr. Willoz is, that he is not willing to unite in the uttor destruction of the banks of Ohio. His constituents, of all parties, havo petitioned for the passage of a bill exempting the Hunk of Woostcr from the operations of tho banking law, but accepting other restrictions; among them iiulivutuat nihility! Mr, W. was disposed to grant their request, but tho hard money loaders said that he must not. Ho was determined, and the disposition of tho "hards" may bo understood from a single romnrk mado by ono of thorn to-day, who is a member of tho House. Said ho, "If'illoz may go; tee have tdreaity kicked him out of lite party, and wilt no longer 01m him!" ThiB is tho way nutters aro done up by the tin-pan and this is tlio way thoso aro treated, who dare entertain an opinion adverse to that promulgated from "head quarters." Thus was tho largest part of a day spent upon a matter originating with tho minority. If, however, it had no other good effect, it will show what dependence can bo placed upon tho reports of the Statesman, when it becomes tho interest of tho minority to color and refit ihcin in order to make them palatable NOMINATIONS FOR GOVERNOR. The Massillon Guzctto nominates, as its first choico for Governor, SAMUEL WHITE, Esq. of, Licking Co., one of the able and indefatigable members from that county in tho Houso of Representatives. Mr. Whito would make sad havoc with Davy Toad and his toadys, and tad-poles, big and little. His "Democratic" help-mate would hardly know him by tho time he returned from a tour of tlio State, with Mr. White. Tho Mt Vornon Times recommends to to the consideration of the coming Stato Convention as a suitable candidato for Governor, II. W. CLARK, Esq. of Clermont Co. Mr. C. is an ablo and gallant Whig, and will win honors, whatever post may bo allotted to him in the coining campaign. ft Tho Dayton Journal says that Dclazon Smith held a meeting lost Saturday in order to reply to It. II. Taylor, According to tho Journal, ho "literally fllaycd his traduccra alive." On tho same even ing tho Hickory Club met in somo bar-room, and solemnly read Smith out of the ranks! According to all accounts, if "King Numbers" has anything to say in such a matter, Dclazon could, without difficulty, read out tho Hickory Club. CONGRESS. Mr. McDuffie has replied to Mr. Evans, on the Tariff question, in tho Senalo, in a very lengthy speech recapitulating all his Freo Trade arguments. In tho Houso we find tho following Items t Mr. Campbell of S. C. proposed an amendment to tho Constitution to tho otfect that tho legislative functions of this Disirict shall be given to Maryland and Virginia whoiicvnr those two States signify their willingness to tako chariro ot tho samo. A joint resolution proposing a reduction of the f rices ot printing provided lor under 1110 joint reso-ution of lrilt) to the amuunt uf 15 per cent The provious question was moved as soon as the resolution was presented. It was moved again upon the third roadimr, and ueain upon tho final passage. upon which tho yeas and nays wero called. The Vole was l'Jl to 'XI. A new resolulion was introduced that tho two Houses of Congress would adjourn sine die on tho 1st Monday of May. Tho provious question was moved and not seconded. Mr. Illack of (ion. wished an amendment to the resolved, which was that "Congress should adjourn when tho Tariff was brought down to a Revenue Tariff." The resolution wns then objected to Mr. Wiso signifying his intention of debating tho Resolution under tho Rulo it goes over. THE I'HKSr.NT LOCO FOCO PARTY AI.'KNOWI.. EWliriU THAT THEY HAVE I.KIT THE Of. I) DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT CONTENDING FOR THE DEMOCRATIC l'RIH Cll'I.ES OF OTHER DAYS. The following is quoted from tho "Cincinnati En quirer" tho Loco Foco organ of Hamilton county, edited by Charles Bhouoii, Esq., brother of the Auditor of State. It was put forth last fall. We call the attention of men of all parties to it as an acknowledgment not less important than true ! It is an acknowledgment thai thoso who have boasted, at all times, of their " Democracy," and who have claimed to be the exclusive advocates of the principles of Hashington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackson, are not entitled to the namo of Democrat, and that they stand in opposition to true democratic principles as understood, expounded, defended and maintained by those illustrious worthies ! The precepts and principles of those distinguished apostles of Liberty, aro thus repudiated as obsolete, by those who find that their apostacy has becomo so palpablo, it can no longer bo cnncoaled from tho eyes of an uprising people. "Progressive Democracy," as it is culled, spurns the principles of those who framed this gov ernment, and tramples tinder foot those measures which carried the country safely through all its difficulties, and placed it on the high road to prosporily, happiness and honor. The old beacon-lights are to put out, old land-marks are to be obliterated and the people must follow after tho new-lights, and worthless expedients of a mushroon race of Solons, whose loftiest conception is "to the victors belong the spoils!" " I thank thee, Jow, for that word !" We rejoico that our opponents havo thrown off their disguise, and thus defined their position. Wo know now what "progressive democracy " means ! We call upon tho people of the State to mark this acknowledgment ; and our friends of the press should see that it is kept before the people, from this timo until the voice of tho nation shall proclaim Henry Cluy President of the United States.

CATO-No. 5. To the Editor of thr Journal: The next and lust imoortant principle, embraced in, and recognized by the Bill, is to allow, the individuals engaged in Banking, all the ordinary privi leges oi a iimiicu partnership ny me selection pi meir name, place of business, time of duration, amount of capital, the adoption of their own rules for the selec tion ol officers and tho transaction ol tneir business and wilh no restrictions, other lhan such as are useful with reference to their issues, the rate of interest, and the prevention of frauds. Whoever will separate the issue of circulating notes, from the term Bank or Banking, will readily perceive the correctness of this principle Banks of deposite, discount and exchange, without issuing circulating notes, have existed time and again. Very many such, now exist. No legislation is nccessurijy required, to call them into existence. They result from the diffusion of capital among the mony, and can best exist whero tho population is dense, ontcrprizintr and commercial. They coold not exist in a country, whero all tho powor and wealth wero in tlio hands ol the lew. l ncy nau their origin in a republic, where individual rights were respected, individual knowledge and enterprise fostered and sustained, and individual competence, if not wealth, were common. The economy of timo and money, in the transactions of tho many, impelled them hy the law of necessity and uses, into existence. They aro in their nature and uses, of private, rather than of public consideration. They are sim ply the scents, not the standard of vnluo. They do not furnish a circulating medium, as a representative in value of coin, nor do thev perform any other act in which tho whole Stutc, or the people of tho S'ato is interested. Thev exercise no functions, but such as legitimately belong- to individuals. All of their transactions are in fact, of the privato or individual nature. 'A. fins a sum ol money that ho wibIics sale-ly kept, until he has occasion to use it Ho dopos-ites it with ono who has in his judgment and confidence, integrity of character and good and efficient provision against firo and robbers. The ono who receives it is A's Bunker. This deposileo may or may not loan money, make discounts, or buy and sell exchanges. 'B.' wishes to borrow a sum of money, or ho wishes to anticipate in ready cash, a note having time to run. Ho applies to one who will loan him the money or discount his Bill. It is a private, an individual transaction. So of exchange. C.' wishes to remit one thousand dollars to Boston. Ho applies to an individual or company who may havo funds there. If they agree upon tho prico, C. buys the tunds there hy paying tho money Hero, witn mo exchange if any, and takes the Bankers check oil Bus. ton for it In all theso transactions, whether few or many, the public at lorp-c has nothing tn do, any more than they have with the every day's business of buying and selling Hour, louueen, cotton, tea, coiiee, v.c. etc, And. whatever mov bo the acirrciratc amount of bu siness done by a Bank of discount, deposit and ex change, the whole is mado up ot tlioso anove enumerated individual transactions, and in which sever- lly, or in the aggrcirute, the public at large is not interested, bestows no confidence, and from a broach of faith or mismanagement can suffer no loss. Willi a circulating medium, it is altogether inher ent That is the representative of tho values. All other property whatsoever is represented, bought and sold, by it; and hy its tuidard aro all things in' his-scssion volucd and in it and its agencies, all the people are interested interested in tiuving it of an uniform and una-iultcrutcd vnluo. Paper money, therefore, should onlv bo used when it is safe and more economical in such usn than coin, and should never etceca an availaldc capital (of fic precious metal) rep resented by it Thence it would follow, that were there no statutory provision on the subject were all restraining laws repealed anil individuals left to their common law rights, they might without injury to the public, issue bills of circulation, if based upon and not exceeding the cash capital on hand. But the danger would oo ns too olen proved by experience, that the cosh means of redemption would not bo in hand when most wanted, and moreover that lire issocs nad been Inigcly extended beyond tho cshh once on hand. Hence the necessity of legislating on this branch of the subject and this alone; and providing that the capital for the issues shall bo in the hand of the htate; and tfie issues themselves, noscu upon sucn capital, shall not bo entrusted to the owners and thus alwavB havini? abititii to redeem "in hand," in the placo of liability to redeem "in tho bush."

How nearly it corresponds with tho declaration of Senator Lahin, made on Wednesday we believe, that tho wholo retrenchment mnltor was a humbug! Theso things, small in themselves, show the real state of feeling among thoso who cxect to prevent tho passage of any retrenchment bill by loading tho propositions of tho House with impracticable amendments. Tha Telegraph took its pilch when Disney and Lahm, and others of the Loco Focos of the Leg islature, were openly denouncing and sncoring at retrenchment; and he has not observed that tho key is changed !

The uuestion beinir upon tho motion to strike out all alter tlio enacting clause, Mr Foot said, as one of the select comoiitteo to whom tho petitions upon this subject had been referred, he had ntlixcd his name to the report accompanying tlio Dill now uuuer discussion. That renort states that the committee cun sco no rcusonublo ohicctions to tho passao-e of a law such us is prayed for by tho petitioners. They simply nsk at our hands, a modification of the license laws ; such a mollification as sliull give to them, tho people, tho powor lo decide whether or nol mo present system shall any longer be in force in their respective townships. They usk for no compulsory legislation for no law upon the subject that shall in its operation run counter to public opinion ; but they ask rather lor tho privilege of ascertaining public sentiment, and then tn regulate this matter in accordance with that puulic sentiment," oy carrying out its demonstra tions. Tho ohicctions that huvo been broutrht uiruinst the bill, Mr. F. thought were not well founded. The legislation in Massachusetts some years since upon this subject, to which allusion hud been made, was of a character entire v different from that proposed by the bill before us. The further objection, that lobulation in these mutters would have a tendency to retard tho progress of the temperance cause, was, in his opinion, un objection thut could not justly be applied to the provisions of the bill under discussion. And furthor, he thought it too late in the doy to take tho broad ground which snch an objection would cov-or. The laws now upon the Stututo Book, furnish evidenco that will not be disputed, that this is a p op-or subject of legislation, and thut our law makers Imve hitherto regarded il as the duty of the Legislature to lessen and rcstrnin, if not to attempt the re moval of tho causes which load to inteoiperance. If this bo not the case, why is it thut "license" must first bo procured, and evidence furnished to tlio court that the applicant "sustains a fair inoiul chur-actcr," before he can, according to your laws, obtain such license ? Il is admitted by all, that evils of tho greatest magnitude grow out of the practice of using intoxicating drinks as a beverage; and notwithstanding all the efforts of the friends of temperance, these evils still remain among us to nn alarming extent A largo number of our fellow citizens come up here by their petitions with a proposition which, if adopted, they believe would tend to lessen the evils complained of. This bill is framed in accordance with their prayer; and believing as ho, Mr. F. did, that its operation would be highly salutary, ho hoped tho molion to Btriko out would not prevail. Tho bill afterwards having been reported back to the Houso with an amendment adopted in commilteo of llio whole to strike out all afler tho enacting clause, and tho question being upon agreeing to tho report of the committee, Mr. Luwrenco moved tho indefinito postponement of the bill Willi the ponding amendment.Mr. F. remarked, in substanco, that he was about rising to move to lay llio bill wilh tho amendment upon the table, when the gentleman from (luernsey nbtuined the lluor, Ilis, .Mr. F.'s, object in making tins motion was to ufl'ord the Houso fiirlher timo to examine its provisions. From the character of the objections raised against it he wus convinced the objects of tho bill were not fully understood. As the motion lo indefinitely postpone had precedence, tho friends of the measure found themselves now under the necessity of defending it notwithstanding tho lateness of tho hour. (icntlemen hod spoken of tho timo already consumed in this discussion. Air. F. said he should not take tho admonilion to himself. He would remind gentlemen that he had remained quietly in his scat while the policy of granting a divorce had been dis cussed for the last threo days, upon tho application of sn individual from another Stale. He had, without taking any part in that debate, contented himself with giving a silent veto. This hill was one of much more interest and importanco tn his constituents, and reluctant ns he was to trespass iijinn the timo of the Houso, he had no apology to oiler lor having done so in Ihe present instance. Rebellious Movement in Harford. It is well known that there is a party in Harfurd county, in this Stato, who arc openly opposed to the payment of taxes. A fow days ago, when the Collector attempted to sell some property in the infected district, he was forcibly stopped. Written notices were stuck up, threatening violcnco lo any one who should daru to bid. The Collector attempted to do his duty, and a resolute individual bid for the property. A mob of somo fifty men immediately rushed open hiin, and the cry was "Ailf Aim, k ill him, killhim!" Ono attempted to dash out his brains with a largo stone, and another to strike at him with a bludgeon. He managed lo escape, and was chased olf the ground. The Collector dared not attempt to perform his duty, and tho law is now set at defianco and a portion of Harford is in open rebellion. I understand that application has bcon mado to the Executivo fur tho protection ot an armed force. Now Mr. Medary, in all candor, wo would advise you tn put Mr. Toil under keepers, until you can learn hiin a deccut and intelligent kind of a speech to repeat on tho stump, if you do not wo fear that ho will not receive tho full support of his own party, notwithstanding its secure "lwty drill and party organization" wo havo indeed, fears to that purport ! And look'eo too, Mr. Medary, beforo vou let him so from his "keeiicrs," tell him to rctieal no more Ihat sickly rigmarole about his democratic mother, his aVm-rmfic sisters, his democratic wife and children, &e. wo Know not how such stuff, tuuv sound in the cure of 'democrats' but to us it sounds as very silly and sickening. It docs indeed! A word of advice to tho wiso, &c .luntiice Kiver Times. It is unpleasant to be thus compelled to "try again;" but tho Whigs havo too long contended with adverse influences to be disheartened just on the ovo of a final and complete victory. We have nn abundance it aulo and worthy men, and rrm rfrrf any one of Ihcin. If one is selected who is nut calculated for llio stump, who cares? There is not a county in tho Stato which has not in it young men who can meet and silonco David Tod, the Loco Foco candidate, upon the stump. Ho is a demagoguo of small cali- uro; and lus neariiessness is so apparent H can he readily seen through the flimsy covering with which ho attempts tn conceal it Give us a man ot good, sound, practical common sense (we have no fears that any other will be named! and David Tod will bo distanced. Milan Tribune. SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1844. Sam, THE ACTION OF THE SENATE ON THE RETRENCHMENT BILL. Wo re-affirm what wo nflirmod a fow days since, that tho majority of the Senuto, have both endeavored to delay and defeat tlio passage of the Retrenchment Bill. And we again affirm that facts bear us out in the assertion. And we would ask any candid man. if it can be supposed for a moment that thoso. somo of whom proclaimed at the vory outstart, their hostility to retrenchment as a "humbug," tnil"pclty- larceny" affair, can bo supposed to have any other object in view than the defeat of the bill, when they put the salaries of President Judges at 750 and Secretary of Stale at 8."00 ; while they allow a dot in tho .Iwlilar's Office liU0 nor year? Other amendments of the Senate are equally objeclionablo and impropor, and some of thorn have been so acknowledged. Mr. Archbold, himself, admitted that $750 was too small a salary for a good President Judge. Now, we say these amendments have been mado and insisted upon by the Senate, with no other object than to delay and defeat action upon tho bill. The decision of tho Senato by which tho Slate rrinler is shielded from tlio operations of the Retrenchment principle, is an obnoxious ono, and nine-tenths of the peoplo of Ohio will so consider it and pronounco up on it. Its adoption is and was calculated to render tho bill objectionublu to tlioIIouse,and to delay action. And we must here point to a fact most conclusive, n justification of what we have maintained through out Had the Senate accepted and assented to the naked and simple proposition of the House for a re duction of the compensation of memliers, so much would have been gained of once During the two months the Legislature has been in session, instead of $.'1,00 per doy, tho members would havo bocn en titled to S'iOO, only. Here would havo been a clear and undoubted saving of at least between one and fico hundred dollars per day, to the people of tho Stoto. By hitching to tins proposition a complex and incongruous host of amendments, they have put oft" what they consider the eri'l day, and secured their own compensation nearly to the dost of the session. Now, it cannot be pretended :n extenuation of this, that their object was to apply tho retrenching prin ciple to other departments ; for it is a well known foct thut tho majority of tho House expressed from Die first a dcterininution to "finish tho work !" And, they gavo an oarncst of their sincerity, by passing a bill reducing tho salaries of certain Stato officers, by which they would savo six or seven thousand dollars, annually, to the peoplo. And this second bill was in tlio hands of the Senate, before they had acted upon Retrenchment Bill, No. I. All these things aro on record, and subslantiate most triumphantly our posi tion on tho subject THE DIFFICULTY AT WASHINGTON. Mr. E. II'. Jiihiston, (not W. C. Johnson) was tho second of Mr. Shrivor in the difficulty bclwcen him and Mr. Weller. Mr. Shrivcr makes a publication in which he states that he made several attempts, through his friends, to obtain a meeting wilh Air. Weller, but that the latter refused, utterly, to meet him any where, at any time. Thereupon he publishes hiin'aa a coward, in the Baltimore Patriot Wo cannot suffer this opportunity to pass without expressing our satisfaction that this matter has not terminated as we learcd for a tune, it would, no circumstanco can induco us, for a moment, lo ap- provo a resort to this murderous modo of settling a difficult j. If ono apologises for it, under ono sot of circumstances, others will find an excuse or justification of it under other circumstances. Thus the force of that current of public opinion which has been set ting for years agoinst the "(lucJIirur; eorfc," ,will be broken. This much, however, wo may say; that a man who will make an attack upon another, physi cally his inferior, such as that made by Air. Weller upon Mr. Shrivor, justly merits tho appellation ol eoivard, by refusing afterwards to meet nun upon an equal footing; showing, at least thst ho has not uie nerve to stand before thut man upon an equal fooling, whom ho would attack ntjl disadvantage. Bu, at tlio same time wo must say, that hud we not been satisfied previously, that Air, 8. was a man ol courage, it would take more than his challenge to satisfy us of it Tha Christian world has ceused lo consider the dWisf the most courageous man. Ohio Leoislathre. A bill to apportion the State for members of iho Legislature has beon intro-I ucod into the Senate. We regret to see a determination still manifest to mnkc an apportionment on party grounds. Such an idea ought never to enter tho dead of a Legislator who hue the least desire for juslico. Any man can take the census, and beginning in one corner (say Ashtabula county) and conforming as near as county lines will permit to tlio logal ratio, make an apportionment wiiose equity cannot be called in question. Why not both parties agreo to do so ? Floating members, however, ought at nnco to bo abolished. The Legislature has no right to mako them. They are represcntalitos of noooiiy. tuicinniiii tftfontcic.

A fow Loco Foco papora of tho Stato are claim ing some credit as advocates of sn alteration of the Constitution, so as to prnvido for oirnrinil instead of nnmint sessions of the Legislature. Somo of them go so far as to claim the suggestion as one originating with themselves, and thnt is opjnscd by the Whigs of tho State. A Loco Foco editor at McCon nclsvillo, quotes from Cop. 5Aan lion's mcnagt a sug gestion of an alteration of the Constitution, as one made with reference to tlio same purpose! Ho will we apprehend, be at a loss to find anything in favor of bionnial sessions in that message, but we must excuse hiin, for wo presume ho had not read the mcs-sage, that being mnre charitable than to suppose he misrepresented it Wo must at least dispute tho exclusive claim to this fnunaVr. More than fivo months sinco, wo advocated in tho columns of a paper wo wore then publishing, this samo prepoai tion. We aro still of the opinion that the welfare, poace and prosperity of the Slate would bo enhanced by an alteration of iho Constitution providing fur biennial, insload of annual sessions of the Legislature. In this opinion a largo number of the Whig press and party of Ohio, wo havo no doubt accord with us. But, the question of an amenihiient of the Constitu tion will not be presented to tho people this fall; it being considered dusirnblo to koep a matter of so much importance aloof from a political contest as exciting ss it may bo expected, will be thut of the coming soaann. If wo should bo spared until another session if the Legislature convenes, nur voice shall be raised in behalf of action on this sub ject And we hope to see all parties unito in advo cating an amendment which wilh ono other, is so much needed.

We fenl under many obligations to somo of our friends of press, for tho very flattering manner in which Ihcy havo noticed our proposal 10 publish a cheap campaign paper. Wo shall do our best to meet their expectations and to merit their regards. 7'cn thousand copies of tho Journal, at least should bo circulated during Uie coming campaign. And if our friends do their duty, they can without difficul ty, givo us a list of lircnfv fAouMnrl! With such a circulation, or ovon half the number, wo again sure the Whigs of Ohio they shall have a paper with which they will be satisfied. Wo wish thoso who havo prospectuses to mako an effort with as little de lay as possiblo. "TELL IT NOT I.N GATH!" It is said that the personal abuso poured out upon Air. Stowart, of Pa., by Mr. Wellor of this State, was tho result of a previous arrangement, deliberate- ly mado. The arguments qf Mr. S. being unanswer able, in order tn prevent their repetition and intimi date hiin from further efforts of the samo kind, it was agreed upon that Mr. W. should insult, abuso and blackguard him, with the understanding that he should be backed up if any unpleasant consequen ces ensued. Shame! Shame! How much he must feol honored in being selected as the most suitable man for such dirty work! Tho signal rebuke administered by Air. 8. must however, lead him to doubt Ihe propriety of trying that gamo again. ANOTHER REJECTION.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY.-01d Fairfield is mov-ing. A county meeting is called for the 9th, Harri son's birth-day, fur the appointment of delegates to the State Convention of the 23d. The Committee call upon the Whigs and Straighlouts of the county to commence the good work, and bid them, "Nbvor falter until our banners again shall be wreathed with triumph, and from every mountain top shall be proclaimed, once again are we free!" 1810 REVIVED! We notice, by the papers of the cities, that largo numbers of ladios attend the meetings of the Clay Clubs of Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, &c At a meeting few evenings since, more than a thousand ladies were present to witness the presentation of a splendid Portrait to a Clay Club. Bongs are sung, generally, between every speech delivered, and the ladies join in to swell the loud chorus, in honor of Henry Clay and Whig principles ! In various parts of the Union, splendid Flags have been presented by the warm hearted daughters of noble republican sires, to Associations of Young Men who have enlisted for tho campaign in the cause of the country. With such incitements to fidelity and ac tivity, who supposes they will fuller? And, when such a stato of feeling is exhibited throughout tlio country, who does not feol a happy assurance that the day of its deliverance draweth nigh ? We wonder not that our opponents become desperate when they witness such evidences of their doom. ANOTHER "APPEAL TO THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS!" The following chaste and classical sentence is found in a paragraph that has been elicited from the Statesman, by an allusion in reply to the orm'nous givings out of that paper and the Globe, to the fact that the unfortunato man who waa killed by the fall ing of the roof of the Club House, at Richmond , waa a Van Buren man. "Van Buren mechanics should lot these rufflo- shirted, wasp-waistcd, slim-lingered, drunkon fool dandies build their own 'houses ot ill-lame,' 11 they wish to escape from tho wrath that is in store for such wickedness." If this means anything, it is that tho Whigs may engage in such deeds of darkness (building Club Houses) with impunity; but if a Loco Foco lends a hand he is sure to fall a viWim to "the iprafA thnt is in store for such wickedness!" Out upon such stuff! A man must havo a strong stomach if he docs not sicken with it flj The following is from the Charlestown (Va.) Freo Press. It has set tho Loco Foco camp in a perfect buzz. They denounco the Roy. Mr. Collins in no measured terms, although somo of them admit him to be a most eloquent and devoted man. Wo do trust they will survive the knowledge of the fact that the groat mass of the Clergy would regard tho honor of the country much more safe in the hands oil Mr. Cluy than of Martin Van Huron, whose corrupt practices havo inflicted a deadly blow upon the morals of the country: The Hon. J. Al. Bolts lately addressed the Tenth Ward Clay Club in Baltimore, alter which the Rev. John A. Collins fervently addressed the Throne 0,' Divino Uraco. Air. Collins then stated that much to his regret, another engagement then compelled him to retire, but that ho wished to state that if it were not for hia "cloth, he would hko to tako amoro activo pnrt in aiding the Whigs to carry out their principles, as hid warm sympathies were with them adding, as ho pointed to a portrait of Mr. Clay, "for President I am for that man; first, last, and all the timo.

SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ASY LUM FOR THE BLIND, The seventh annua! report of Ibis institution al though it was issued sometime since, has been on our table but a short timo. We take pleasure in eta- ting, as wo are authorized to do by the Report, that the Institution by its operations and results, is moet- ng the warmest expectations of its founders, friends, the trustees and superintendent Several concerts nave Dcen given tins season, by Us pupils, which have awakened an increasing interest in its welfuro und success. Although it cannot "give sight to tho blind," any more than its sister institution can "give neanng to tne deaf," yet it can employ other senses which seem to be dovelopcd in the blind with a de gree of acuteness and powor which measurably re pays tor Uie aoscDce or the former and mako them the conductors to the mind of knowledge calculated to elevate thorn from their unfortunate position, and make them more happy while it makes them more useful. We learn, through the report before us that the number of pupils admitted into the Asylum is smul-er than in former yenrs. We regret to learn this, and cannot but believe that it may be ascribed to tho want of information respecting the system of instruction, &e. If the blessings it bestows upon its pupils were known and understood, we feel euro that fuw of Uie unfortunate beings would be de prived of a participation in them. We rejoice, there fore, that it is designed to send a few of the pupils to different places in the Stute, during the ensuing vacation, under tho care of tho Principal, for an ex hibition of their acquirements. It cannot fail to ba productive of good. The numbor of pupils admitted during the post year, is tiodvc; discharged, or not returned nino. The number in the institution it fifty-eight Tim pupils have, we are happy to learn, n; t morB fa. cided improvement during ilz past term than at any previous period. variety of branches of a good practical education are imparted, and yet a portion of the time of the pupil is spent in acquiring a knowlcgo of one of four trades taught in the Asylum, viz: brush making, basket making, mat and carpet woaving. The females are taught some branch of fancy worsted work. It is said all mako very rapid progress in acquiring an education as well as a trade. Thus a large, and hitherto helpless class, aro liAed up from their dependent condition and ena bled so to live as to bo useful members of society. Musical instruction has been very successfully imparted, and there is now in the Asylum an excellent orchestra, composed of a dozen or more perform ers. Borne standard works of reference, for the uso of the blind are much needed, and the Superintend ent thinks that in no branch of benevolence could a moderate Bum be expended more profitably. The receipts from sales or Uie workshops of the Institution, amount to $1,)03, leaving a profit in the mmiu- facturing department, of If 1 HI. So that trades arc giv en to to the pupils with little cost to the State. Two interesting Chinese blind children are preparing in the Institution to act as teachers in China. Tho expenses of the Institution have been less than usual, and the most satisfactory evidenco has been furnished of the fitness of the Superlntendont and Teachers for the responsible and arduous labors imposed upon them. We publish the following torms for the admission of pupils, that all who wish to avail Uiemselves of its beneficent provisions, may see that the door is ex- tended wide, and the tonna all that could be asked. I. Applications for admission may be addressed to either of the Trustees, or the Superintendent II.

HAMILTON THE AUTHOR OF THE SUB- TREASURY!! By the following, from tho Steubenvillo Hornld, it will be seen that Alexander Hamilton first introduced and recommended Uie Sub-Treasury, to which Mr. Van Buren is so devoted, and which is about to be adopted by the present Congress. Tho Address of tho 8lh of January, abuses Hamilton without sfinf, it cortainly was not for Uie introduction of thit measure: "Alexander Hamilton, tmi Ihe original inventor and propeser qf the sub-ircasiiru scheme which fan Httrtn fastened upon ihe nation, and for which, mainly, ho wns Kicxeu out 01 tne presidency, in leuti, Vnn Duron's Secretary of Uie Treasury recommended Ihe scheme to Congress by Uie declaration that 'it was urgently recommended by this Department as early liw: tram 1BUto 1:'D Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury, and of course wus the Secretary in 17IKL, The following is the fourth section or an act en titled '.
